Nike: First Weeks!

I'm two weeks in at Nike and so far it is great! Very challenging, and LOTS I don't know (chemistry!), but everyone is friendly and the campus has great energy.  

Here are a couple of shots from around campus - it is a really beautiful place.

This was an exhibit in the Prefontaine Hall which houses Nike history, plus great rotating exhibits on neat projects groups around campus are involved with. This exhibit was for...ooh. I can't remember the name...it starts with an F. It's a project Nike does every year in collaboration with OSHU where Nike designers work with a number of children from Dornbechers to design shoes. Then Nike produces a limited run for sale and all proceeds support the children's hospital. Pretty inspiring. I liked this quote too and am going to try to remember it in my own life: "People who turn out best are those people who make the best of the way things turn out." Good wisdom there. 


The lake on campus - with a Japanese garden to commemorate Nike's initial roots with Omakase Tiger (shoe company. I may have butchered the first part of the name too...)


Another view on a sunny day. 

First pair of Nike shoes purchased! For fashionista Adele's birthday!
